This has been driving me CRAZY for the past two hours. So I go to install Skype on my new installation of Ubuntu and it fails and the software center keeps asking me to repair the package catalog and when I try to repair it it tells me I am missing dependencies. Normally I'd just run "sudo apt-get install -f" and it would install the dependencies like normal, but then it outputs an error I haven't seen before.
